I've been eating healthier, working out (but only while I'm at work) and my weight has been slowly decreasing. It's a good feeling. But.. there's also the feeling of I don't know where my rent money for this month is going to come from, or my cell phone bill either.. But the only thing I can do is go to work, do the best I can, and keep trying on a second job. Currently, I found a doggie day care to apply to.. so now, I have to finish the answers to the questions and drop that app off. Hopefully they are in need of someone. I would LOVE to work around dogs. And be able to take my dog (when I get one) to work with me.
I have one week until Kelly is here for a week. That'll be fun. It will definitely be nice to have him here, even though I still have to work. Whenever I tell people at work that he's here for the weekend, they always ask me what I'm doing at work. I tell them I still need to pay bills. Just because he's here doesn't mean my bills suddenly disappear. I'm trying the best I can, I just feel like I'm always behind and I can never catch up. Hopefully I can get this second job and finally be on track with bills. I'll have a roommate starting in june, so that'll help a LOT too. My bills will go from about $1050 to under $650.
And.. something else, the belt that I always wear with my jeans, I always had to have it on the 2nd notch from the last one. Lately, and I"m not exactly sure when it happened, I put it on the very last hole, and it fits. It's not deathly tight or cutting air off or anything. It's so surprising. Since about March, I'm down 5 lbs, and most of that has been within the last 3 weeks or so. At the end of February, I bought a pair of jean shorts that are short.. I hate shorts. And I decided I was going to wear them on my birthday when me and Kelly go to a race. They didn't look horrible when I bought them, and I could wear them without too much of a problem. I put them on the other day, and my legs were looking better.. not quite where I want them yet, but still, better and more defined in the thighs than they had been since last summer when I was running a lot.
So, things have still been going, I applied to UNC Charlotte, and hopefully will get enough in aid that I can attend and get started on this new teaching path.. all while still taking cute kid photos and do some sports-related things. And hopefully, sooner than later, I won't have to work in a restaurant anymore..
